Welcome to another edition of Gamecock Central Braves Baseball ⚾️ Chat 💬. I am your host
@Pfunk Cock along with a plethora of regular participants in the chat. A new month is upon us and our Braves have yet to see a winning record on their side of the ledger. There has been a slew of transactions to change the trajectory but this far the team is still treading water winning one and losing one almost lockstep with a military cadence. Left Right Left Right and of course each succession of steps created more anxiety and added pressure on the players. They tasted success last season coming one game shy of the pinnacle of a baseball season and most assuredly they want a return challenge. That Journey begins tonight in the Cory with the Archway to the West and the new world 🌎 which symbolizes a record above 500 and continued pressure on the current pretender to the throne. The entire division know they are an illegitimate leaders and therefore must be exposed for what they are. In my combination English French and Spanish combination I give you Le Pugh Mest. 🤔
Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion (sorry for the poor segue) Adter a couple of days of U-Verse Hell I am back baby. It took a service call and actually just 30 minutes of actual labor to correct the deficiencies. They are currently in the process of getting the infrastructure of fiber optics to make streaming a preferred method but I will not be a beta case member (The Army taught us all not to Volunteer) 😎😎. The Braves will play the Cardinals tonight and will face a familiar for in John Lester. He was once one of the most feared pitchers to face but has been relegated to crafty Lefty Status. He can still get outs but he relies more on his defense more and pitches to contact. It is up to the Braves to decide what that co tact will be. Will they roll over pitches as they did Sunday trying to pull a ground ball pitcher? Will they go to opposite field while making more solid contact and baseball IQ?
The Braves will counter with a Lefty of their own as Max Friend takes tue bump tonight 🆚 the Cardinals. The Braves need to start playing winning baseball and establish a winning streak . They need to put pressure on the front runners and make them be scoreboard watchers on the daily. The steps to Victory start with a win tonight and a win tomorrow and the next day before we come home for the longest home-stand of the season .
